All I know is swimming did more for me in terms of body, mind and overall well being than any other exercise possibly could. People vary,
so I believe the same applies to what exercise works best.
I am with you on this 👍
Agree!
I absolutely agree with you. Even though always that I run I could weight 2 kg less than when I swim, but the upper body is much stronger and probably a bit heavier when you swim frequently than when you run frequently. My love, swimming.
I have been swimming for 13 yrs, started at 204 lbs 5’8” medium build, stopped running after an ACL as meniscus showed signs of wearing. Skip to 2020 at 69 weight 158-160. Best shape of my life as I do a non stop 1 km swim, flip kicking all turns with an average time of 23 mins . The endorphin high associated with a swim is without the pain experienced in weight bearing as a runner for years. And something no one talks about is the beautiful stretch, the added left/ right abdominal workout of free style with bilateral breathing with the persistence for a non-stop period. I don’t believe that Running compares with Swimming as swimming is far superior as overall body and breathing total exercise, when you add non stop minimal distance
I don’t think personally that the tests was accurate because Swimming has different stroke and can burn a lot of fat more like butterflies or backstroke
Aww.. I hate it.. Because i love swimming but i am alreadyyy sooo thin! Because i get full easily that's why.. Or i don't have appetite to eat and i am kinda use to not eating lunch but i will have dinner or lunch but i don't like to eat in dinner... So yeah
totally agree with you. butterfly stroke burns the most calories followed by front crawl, breast stroke while back stroke burns the least calories among the 4 strokes. moreover, swimming is a low impact workout with less injuries compared to running.
Nar10uto Uzimaki Animations and breaststroke is so hard
@Olivia Fiebelkorn Same with swimming.
Spirits 50, 100
Mid 200, 400
Long 800, 1500
You have
4x50m fly back brest free
4x100m fly back brest free
5x200m fly back brest free and IM
2x400m free and IM
1x800m free
1x1500m woman don't swim this event yet.
You normally swim all the races above 2 time's if you make the final that is lol
Think that's how runner's do it also from what I can remember.
Then you have the team event's of 4 swimmers.
200 free so 50 each
200 IM 50 each
That was LCm And there is SCm so 25m pool instead of a 50m pool
Enless you America then they have yards as well so 25yard pool qnd 50yard pool heard them talk about 500yard swimming race's but there the only one's as far as I know that do yards.
Open water is a totally different story.
@adam3560 adam3560 Yeah my bad not a recognised distance for all the strokes yet.
Some small meets some time's have races like that.
Kinda like the Americans who do like 500y and 1000y races at meets in sc and lc.
8:48 for those with impending mortality.
As a life long swimmer turned triathlete I find burn more calories running for an hour than swimming for an hour, but 16 years of competitive swimming has helped me become an efficient swimmer and expend less energy. I think there are too many variables to really come to a conclusion here.
Running probably burns more calories in the exercise, but I believe swimming recovery burns more due to swimming using your whole body. Also water temperature plays a role, as well as breathing. Open air breathing is much easier than water breathing due to complexity and technique of good breathing whilst in the water. I also prefer the look of a swimmers body.
I love both exercises - so no hate
You use your entire body while running, and while swimming you're not having to support any of your own weight like you would running because the buoyancy from water is lifting you up, so running overall is still requiring more of your overall system. The only reason you feel like you're more drained is because of the cold water sucking the heat out of your body but that still doesn't match the calories burned while running.
@@bustaruckus5611 I don’t think you know what swimming entails you mostly use your legs in running swimming depending on the stroke while use almost every muscle in your body along with the breathing work
@@bustaruckus5611found the nonswimmer
if you’re doing it correctly it is a whole body exercise (for example swimming fly)
@@billybob6604 We found the person who doesn't understand physics and buoyancy. You don't have gravity compressing your body as a significant force to fight against...yes, there is some water resistance, but not the same thing. Also, I NEVER said swimming isn't a total body exercise, but you don't need to use your stabilizer muscles the same as running.
@@deesnuts3522 See my response to Billybob
One variable is key: good technique vs average or (for triathletes) bad technique
A triathlete who has trained as a swimmer will burn much less calories than a bad swimmer for the exact same session
My idea as well. These guys look like smooth, well trained swimmers, while I'll be out of breath after 2 laps :) But maybe in calories per time the difference is not even that great, I just do less laps.
they will burn about the same amount it just feels easier if your well trained
Normally a good swimmer/ competitive swimmer burns more as they swim more and faster.
What's Phelps eat 12,000 calories a day?
This actually happened to me. When I first started triathlon, my swimming was terrible, but ended up being an excellent workout as a result. Over the years, I got way more "efficient" in the water and had to work in a harder zone for the same cardio benefit.
@@andreaschristo1204 Indeed, but that is not the debate
The point is that for the same distance/ time, the skilled swimmer will use less energy just because the technicity of the sport allowed him to
This disparities in running technique are much less prevalent
EXCEPT most swimming is done in intervals with rest stops at the pool, not continuous Z4 for 60 mins. So take that into account as well.
So is running, though.
Jakob Inführ maybe a couple times a week at most
No you have no idea. Some people swim 1000m in one go
Pros can swim 2500m without rest
@@goated-yt2370 10000m. Pros do 10k in 1h45min. I on the other hand am not a pro and 3000m takes me about an hour.
@@FryingPan76 I'm about the same, but a bit slower. 3000m to 5000m in practice (1 hour and 30 min). I'm competing, but as a masters swimmer. Pros can go 10k on time :P
And so true about the strokes! I can do a whole 3000m freestyle without a break, but butterfly is a whole other story! (I'm a free, breast and fly sprinter)
A trick to share: a short running right after swimming would alleviate the wanna-eat-a-horse hunger.
John Witman i will try it thanks!
how it works?
@@FisicaCiencia My educated guess is that running raises body temperature thus lessens hunger.
Eat a small healthy snack and drink water within 15 min of swimming. Your workout induced starved body will be tricked into thinking you satisfied its need. A low fat protein shake can also work. I do either a banana of a shake.
I am 43, retired military and swim every day (7 days a week) about 2.5 to 3 miles.
I like swimming as it exercises all your muscles evenly (doing all four strokes), it is not weight bearing and it gives you the best body physique (just perfect). In the long run, swimming is not bad for your knees as opposed to running, though some people may disagree (by pointing out the correct running technique). I’ve known orthopaedic consultant surgeons who does TKR (Total Knee Replacement) and they wouldn’t recommend running as part of your daily exercise routine.
I swim and run so I guess it doesn’t matter for me
Yea same here and I love both.
i wish i could run but i have asthma and allergies to basically everything outside so 😔
Emily Kline same. I love both but the aspect of swimming being more unsociable is rubbish. I know my best friends through swimming
Me too
bananas please so how are you going to survive the apocalypse?
Both are good. However, after the activity, swimming feels more therapeutic/relaxed and running feels a bit strenuous. I guess running is preferred for a quicker outburst of calories.
You forgot the recovery time. You still burn calories during your body recovers. Swimming does that more than running. So at the end Swimming with more upper, middle core and lower body movements burns calories. Jeez really calorie watches nah... not really an exact Science. You should have a disclaimer and said this is our opinion only.
@Olivia Fiebelkorn How many runners eat 12,000 calories a day?
At my peak I ate 8,000 a day.....
I'd say the test is not accurate swimming Burns more for me a lot more if you compared a swimmer to a runner at the same level of competition so Olympic down to local club you should find swimming burn a lot more calories, however that's my opinion.
There isn't a consideration of calories burned from dramatic increases in body temperature POST swim. In water your core temperature stays cooler... therefore, a significant amount of calories are burned when you leave the cooler water. This is called a body temperature spike. This spike does not occur while running. And, this body temperature spike also explains hunger from post swimming work outs.
I was thinking the same thing after having watch this video... remembering having read somewhere that a large proportion of Michael Phelps burnt calories when swimming is because of what you just said about the body temperature. Good video though!
9:54 I don't know if you are considering (or event be able to estimate for) the fact that in water your body needs to compensate more for the temperature difference - the air is a better insulator, while the water is not and on top of it it touches the skin directly. I recon a lot of calories will be burned just to maintain the body temperature. This would be enough anyway to top the results from running. You cannot argue with the hungry sensation after swimming...
Dassem Ultor exactly! I swam on Thursday and two days later, I can still feel that hungry sensation
Dude this video was very unfair to the people that take swimming seriously which i feel isnt ok like me i do about a 2hour 30m swim when i get back from school swimmming is and its a fact way harder than running nd if really if you would put the same amount of effort into. Swimmming as you do running ti would be about 4 times harder and yes you do burn more calories doing other strokes which is also unfair they should’ve did one that uses for muscles then the front crawl and in breaststroke which is made more as a not streamlined swim where as front crawl is the easiest and most efficient way of swimming for example butterfly uses more energy force and muscles which you could easily burn over 2000 calories in a 2 hour time frame even with a 2 minute interval (if you need to take that much rest or barely make the interval it means yo should probs switch to a different stroke but still) and in the 2 minute interval do a 50 yard and or meter fly swim. They also did not include all the other strokes and things that could have put the calories burn to the absolute max and we could see and know how running and swimming are different an like a said they should do another video on this showing the other strokes..... sorry i needed to copy this and it was by the send button
Big facts
“Your just following the black line at the bottom of the pool”
No swimmers can look at other things too...
Like the ceiling
Why is everybody forgetting about open water swimming (at least in the summer)?
Erin Xia ha sooo true
It said following not watching
Erin Xia and the flags
@De St probably not, but we are dodging angry pensioners ;)
Try 10 minutes of butterfly or breaststroke, those burn about twice or three times as much as freestyle/front crawl.
Breast stroke burns more than free style?
Insert name here it depends a lot and many factors take place but overall most people it’s pretty accurate
I can do breaststroke all day but 2 lengths of freestyle I’m dead so not so sure about this lol
@@duanecooke5758 wow for me its the opposite
Problem is I only know how to do freestyle 🤣
The thing is, you didn’t differentiate the swimming
oh well swimming is still way harder than running sooooooooo
I can run a 5k nonstop at a time of 23:00 but swimming fuck that I swim a 100 and I want to die
That dumb friend of yours you may not be a good runner then.... also distances in swimming varies I’m as out of breath racing a 50m sprint and I am a 400m so distance isn’t a factor.
Running is natural for humans swimming is not most people can't swim 50meter but most people can run 100s of meters.
Im a runner and just started swimming . For some reason my breathing is horrendous in the water. I rather run 13miles than swim laps at some point because my breathing is hard. Im fairly new to swimming so hopefully it will get better
So. I’m a swimmer and a xc/track runner. Bother at every difficult when done competitively. Both are very mental. But swimming is more about how little drag you can have and then being able to have a high vo2 max as to use your oxygen most efficiently. But with running it also involves its own form that has to be done well to avoid injury. And it works your legs more(obviously) and core, but it is all about controlling breathing and heart rate. Which also plays a role into vo2 max. So basically. I still can’t tell which is harder in paper. But if my opinion makes any difference. I find running to be harder/ more physically challenging as when I’m mid track or xc season I feel better and feel like my body looks better than during swim season. And another thing that might not matter but might as well add it. During a running season my resting heart rate sits around 41 but during swim season I’m usually around 49-51. So not sure if that matters too much, but it’s worth mentioning. Sorry for my paragraph. But that’s just my random thoughts on it
Love a good Fraser/Mark explainer video almost as much as I love seeing Heather smash out a long bike ride. Good stuff
Glad you enjoyed it!
I've always thought of it as running will burn more calories, but swimming gives the better full body workout. And as you two mentioned there's a lot of extra requirements to swim (drive to pool, change, have right equipment etc.)
Swimming giving the full body workout is the winner to me. Especially adding on the less stress on joints
full body workout > only some partial workout
so swimming( full body workout) should burn much more calories then running .
@@kj8491 Agree. Swimming recovery burns more calories than running. Swimming focuses literally all the muscles in your body. Also it increases cardiovascular fitness. It's great for the heart and the lungs too due to the technicality of inhaling and exhaling whilst in the water.
You know I am a swimmer and I feel like you are just negative to swimming cause you did not burn a lot of calories but when you see my coach you will burn a lot I mean a lot of calories
Arnie Lezama after some swim trainings I had to puke from how hard it was... their comparison is quite incomplete.
50×100m butterfly flashbacks
Woah i literaly dont know is your a swimmer ?
@@jaylenwong2749 Nice on what time?
It wasn’t a fair test for swimming because a fair test would be doing IM instead of just freestyle because it means you didn’t use all aspects whereas in running you just run.
Also a quick PSA swimming is a full body o workout not just upper body 🙂
Bella Revel yes thank you
Gawd. I hate IM!!!! Especially butterfly
Cherry Shan yep same
@@cherryshan6010 IM is my favorite lol
Backstroke consumes slightly more than freestyle. Breaststroke consumes slightly less than freestyle. Butterfly consumes considerably more but, unless you are Michael Phelps, you can't do butterfly for an hour....Kicking only contributes about 5%. That is why distance freestylers hardly kick at all.
As a competitive swimmer who runs for additional training, I still say that swimming is harder. But running is definitely another good factor to add in to improve stamina
Swimming changed my life, a workout for your lungs, meditative to the soul, easy on the joints, I got so lean after swimming 30 min a day only
Really good informative video. Been a question I've always wanted an answer for. I used to run years ago and did lose weight but ended up with a long term sciatica injury but maybe the impact of running caused that. I have started swimming again and it's good to know that calories burnt are kind of on par to running. I am finding results are better when I swim first thing in the morning on an empty stomach
Very nice analysis and comparison. I also watched the run vs. bike. It would be helpful to include distances so people of differing skill levels can have a better idea of how much territory was covered in comparison to themselves. Well Done!
I think at the intensity you guys swim at they're much closer. But for the median amateur athlete, our swim KCAL burn doesn't remotely approach what we burn on the run. And for the BOP swimmers, the gulf is even greater...but swimming always makes you more hungry!
This video is just stating all the negative facts about swimming
Another tough aspect to consider in calculations of caloric expenditure is the increase in metabolic factors post-workout. This is also why strength training doesn't have a very high immediate caloric output, but does deplete you energetically, as well as create a sustained caloric/metabolic output for the rest of the day.
I was also expecting running to burn more calories but I wasn’t expecting it to be so close to swimming. This is so interesting. THANK YOU for doing this.
ejquezad OMG Spoiler alert! I have not even watched the video yet...
I hate how this video presents swimming as an easier sport, as quite frankly it’s really not. Getting out of a hard swim practice absolutely hurts my arms, core, legs more than I can imagine, I can happily go home and eat a 1000+ calorie meal and feel no effects whatsoever, I’m not a big person either I have a six pack. However when I used to run I couldn’t seem to burn off calories and my appetite wasn’t that big at all and I ran a lot. Idk but in my opinion swimming burns a lot more. Sorry runners but if you’ve ever survived a swim practice you’ll know what I mean!
Sophia X1 Agreed! When I did cross country, I was running 20 min 5ks and really did not eat that much during the season. Now with swim season, I’m scarfing down food like it’s my job lol
@@nick2997 So why are you reading the comments before watching the video bruv XD
Fantastic information and advice, thank you.
Quite a ‘local’ approach on swimming. Swimming twice a week in the sea with lovely sunrises, clear waters, fishes, the occasional waves and it’s free. No black lines 😬Running also has its fun element of course.
I think this should have addressed/mentioned that most people are much better at running than they are to swimming (especially when first starting/learning). So for their personal experience most people actually do burn way more calories swimming. Great video. The most important thing is to do both!
As an ex-runner And current swimmer I’ve come to the conclusion.......
Swimming makes your want to drown after every set so like.... it’s harder bro’s sorry runners!
Sophia X1 the thing with running though is you lose more sweat and become thirstier which can cause you to feel like shit also.
Sophia X1 it kinda depends on how far your running though. I’ve just started swimming a lot though just to reduce stress on joints and stiff
I agree I’m a current swimmer and used to be a distance runner. swimming I find harder personally and there’s so much more you can do with the sport compared to running
As an outdoor swimmer, I always swim in the lake (Lake Geneva in Switzerland) even in Winter and people told me that when you swim in cold water you loose calories just because you’re shivering and cold. So I wonder if that actually makes swimming more efficient in terms of calories loss ?
I'd say it would as your body is working harder to control body temp
Wow, how do you do this?? It's my dream. I live in Switzerland too, in Ticino... how far do you swim? What time? Fasted? I wish one day I could do one... but my dream, is to swim again - and live by - the ocean in Noosa, OZ.
How do you swim in winter?
Mate I live in South Africa and in the winter the water gets as cold as 16°C and I feel like dying in that temperature
I can't imagine how low the temperature gets in Europe in winter in a lake 😂
As a coach it's true you spend a few more calories keeping your body warm from cold water .however
If you swim in cold water all the time your body adjusts itself on a body fat level to insulate the muscles from the cold ......so
You will keep a few more percent of body fat in cold Water than warm
Elite athletes at world level swimmers have approx 3to 5percent more body fat than track and field athletes for the reason you are getting in and out of the water with just your swimmers on....year after year of training you will have more body fat than the runner
When you see say 100 Meter runners bodies they look like body builders highly defined veins and muscles sticking out to see
Compare the elite 100meter swimmers ......you see great physical bodies but Not veins and defined muscle fibres like the runners.........
1) lose means to lose, loose means to loose. Google the difference. You can’t loose calories. You can loosen a screw.
2) your body will hold onto fat in the cold. You’ll prioritise insulation. You’ll probably lose more weight in the heat
Great video! Very informative!
For swimming there fast pace was still slow
Thanks for doing this , great video
Swimming is way harder then running🚫🧢
Not for me. I can swim 2.5km pretty easily, I can't even run 500m
It depends on technique. Have good technique in both and they will both appear about the same.
It just depends on your experience in both. If you are a more experienced runner ofc swimming is going to be harder
Hahahahah I can easily swim 2 hours every day and there’s no way I can run 2 hours every day. Running is MUCH HARDER than running. Also swimming has no impact and running does, especially running in the streets.
Thank you for the video! I have always been a runner, but now that I am 45 I have had more joint pain in my knees at times and SI joints. I am using swimming as a way to keep in shape and find the joint pain is a hidden blessing to find another activity that is very enjoyable to me. I also find it lowers tension all around the body and gives a sense of peace after doing it.
Yes, on paper it seems running burns more. However, I remember some sports medicine doctor saying that the reason people feel very hungry after swimming is because we don't take into consideration the dissipation of energy our body goes through for having to keep the body at a certain temperature due to the water temperature. So you're actually burning more calories simply by standing in a pool of water and your body trying to regulate itself. Something along those lines. So you might actually burn the same, if not more than running.
As a life long runner and horrible swimmer, I think this was a fun study. Some questionable use of data but overall a great study. Nice job
Running just kills my knees, tried for years. Now that I have started swimming, my joints feel amazing, posture is much better, I feel so good now. Could never run for more than 15-20 mins before my legs would hurt but with swimming, can easily do 90 mins and feel great after.
Opposite is true for me, except for the joint part
When you’re a swimmer AND a runner
As someone with rods and pins in their knee swimming seems to be my best option. There are some types of swimming strokes that have me using my legs too much which end up with trouble walking the next day. However I have found it to be a stellar way to workout for someone with a leg injury. Thanks for the video gentlemen, all the best.
This was biased from the get go, you even refer to each swim test as a "run"
lol
Run vs swim vs bike kcals. Great video! I run 60mins and bike 75mins to hit 800caps for both.
I did 1 hour and 34 minutes easy swimming (3300meters) and burned 928 kcal, and 42 minutes run (5 km) and burned 542. So I burn almost the same in both sports, but a bit more in the running :) I'm mainly a swimmer, bit chubby, but also lots of muscles, 29 years old female ;) I used my Polar V800 :) I found the running heavier than the swimming, but might be because I've been running once each week while swimming 4 times each week :)
@Brett R It is true I haven't been running often enough, and my astma really got bad when it became freezing temperatures, so I had to stop a few weeks back.
The reason I'm a bit chibby is not because of my current diet, but my past 😉 I was in an abusive relationship for 4.5 years where I quit all forms of exercise and just ate my feelings and had a bad depression. I gained 20 kg those years, and after starting to swim (2.5 years now) I've lost 11 kg (while building muscle, so according to bodyscan I've lost more than 11 kg of fat mass). I consume about 2500 kcal a day and I'm not on a diet, just eat healthy 👍 I don't enjoy the taste of salt so no worries about crisps 😅
@Brett R also I eat fastfood (veggieburger at McDonald's) about 2 times a year because of friends, it's expensive, taste bad, have insane kcal and I get hungry again after 1 hour 😛
I make all my meals from the ground at home, and I love cooking 😊 vegetarian4318 on Instagram is some of my meals 😊
Swimming 🏊♂️
With time very often the pulse is going up because of exhaustion. That may be interesting. Do we burn more calories in our first 30’ or second 30’? 😊 Nice video!
Great video 👍🏻
My body doesn't go blue with when I run, swimming by far is harder.
I pay 75 euro a year for swimming pool (no idée in ponds)
I go like 4-5times a week 👍love it
That IS a bargain! 👍
Really cheap. My "local" pool is xbionicsphere.com/ and 1,5 hour session costs 4,50 euro. So it is ~12 times expensive than yours :D
I feel like all of us swimmers are getting defensive cause we all feel so dead after training
Dude fr 😭
Long time swimmer, and not a runner at all, especially after bilateral hip and one knee replacement. I had always wondered how many calories I would burn swimming. Guesstimating from time on an old Schwinn Aerodyne exercycle that had a calorie counter on it, I was figuring that I would be some where in the 600 to 700 range for slow sessions, and maybe up to 1000 for heavy sprint days. Looks like I guessed about right.
Side note here, thanks so much for the tip about Precision Hydration. With 5000 or so yard swims, I don't cramp any more....
Great topic guys :-) ; thank you. I do both everyday 2000 swim meters and 10 to 15K run and it allows me to stay slim. I love both. The combination for me is a perfect exercise regime. I break it up to different proportions everyday. The swimming does not stress the body like a hard run. It's also nice to be able to listen to music or an audio book while running which you cannot do while lap swimming.
"But once your in the water it's pretty difficult to have a chat." When you are doing kick with a kickboard, it's quite easy.
Lol yes I always do that
I think you also need to quantify the efforts to take account of the fact that your running efforts age-graded were a lot faster than the swimming (well, your swims didn't exactly look like you were pushing it that hard!). A Z4 10min swimming effort - so aiming for at least 800m distance - should leave you pretty much dead.
Why do I feel more hungry after swimming than running?
because of the cold of the water.
that's because you burn a lot of calories just to keep the body temperature, on top the physical effort. This is not taken into consideration by their experiment, but may tip the balance in swim favor tough (as in who burns more ;) )
@@OvidiuHretcanu There is no comparison between calories burned swimming vs running. Running wins hands down burning on average twice as many calories. It's also far easier/more comfortable to run 15 km for an hour than to swim for an hour at your max. In the first case at my body weight I will burn at leasr around 1100 kcal, in the second - around 600 kcal.
It’s also because your body tremble when you run and it’s not so great for your digestive system to function. When you swim on the other hand it’s exactly opposite
@@OvidiuHretcanu I think measuring heart rate does take into account calories burned while keeping warm, because the heart must pump oxygen to the muscles which shiver, as well as the muscles used in swimming.
can you do one with fly?
As a former overweight person I would say swimming because it will be way less hard on your knees and when your bigger running is sometimes just to hard on your knees
Main benefit of swimming is the longevity of your joints! Also the anaerobic aspect of swimming. Running is definitely a more convenient exercise.
Just watching people run makes my knees hurt.
I will say this:
It all depends on how much you do and how long you do it and the temp of the water (for swimming)
In this case I think it depends. With swimming it’s quite possible to burn more depending on stroke and even time intervals. I think swimming burns more than running but it also could depend on what level you are on in each sport.
Either way I’ve done both sports and can say that I am always hungry after a swim and thirsty only after a run. I did cross country and swimming through grade school and high school level but it depends on you and what level you are on.
Hey GTN? Any suggestions on ways to keep your sunglasses from getting covered in sweat when running? It makes things blurry and harder to see.
maybe a headband. it works for me. I even used it under my bike helmet sometimes and I always wear it on the run
swimming is one of the hardest sport and I play volleyball, basketball, softball, and run track. Swimming is the hardest out of them
WRONG swimming does burning more calories. BECAUSE THERE is many strokes where you burn alot more calories like butterfly. You also build alot more muscle and it is the best sport for your heart rate. And there is a reason why Michael Phelps ate 10.000-12.000 calories when he was during training, and he was/is still very fit!
Anyway to follow you guys on Polar flow? Nice, informative video!
Iconic bromance
May I know which fitness watch are you both using for tracking the details?
I do both swimming（ mix of breast style, front crawl and back stroke) and running, often on the same day. Swimming helps rest knees、stretch muscles、exercise upper body, and is excellent especially after you have a long run of over 10k. The amount of calories each burns depends more on the speeds of running or swimming.... I don’t really care much about that, doing both is just fantastic.
You guys were going really slow for “zone four swimming” that was an average speed
Swimming is the hardest for me. Started recently with Triathlon like training to loose weight and geht fitter again. Im a pretty strong guy because i lift weights for years but i want to bring my kgs down and build up my stamina. Running falls in second place for me its still tuff but im able to do my 10km under 55 min. And Biking is just easy tbh but the most fun🦾 love your videos keep up the great information!
Difference: Running - boring ; Swimming - not boring
I am a swimmer and a runner
Are you skinny? I know you must be ver fit
well, i like both running and swimming :D
I'm at 0:45 and know that your calory burn rate depends on your body ability to consume oxygen. With small variations, anything you doing in the same HR zone will burn about the same amount of calories per time unit.
I've been swimming since i was 10 ( 36 now) and for a span of three years I switched to running. The con about running, at least for me, were the shin splints. I usually had to recover for weeks before hitting the asphalt again so i gain more calories ahahaha . My shoulder issue was a problem for me to get back to the pool but i controlled the situation with therapy. Nowadays I totally love going back to the pool, 5 times a week, anytime of the day, no shin splints and more calories burned per week. I will choose swimming above any sport, nonetheless, combined with some running, it will increase your cardio big time. Great Video.
Intermixing would be much more fun 👌🏊♂️🚴♂️🏃♂️❤️
Running burns more Calories but less injury and less stress on joints... And gives peace to mind.
Thnks for confirming with your study
I swim and run regularly and can say from experience that with similar pulse rates both sports burn similar amounts of calories. The difference is simply the degree of intensity.
Swimming, however, trains the strength endurance of the upper body to a greater extent. Running puts strain on my joints faster.
Nevertheless I love both. Endurance training on land and interval training in water plus some Pilates for the stability of the trunk.
the resistance of water is so much higher (and more consistent) than air, it's easier to burn calories while swimming. Simply put, you'll burn more calories swimming compared to running the same distance. Swimming is a full body workout, which results in more calories burned
Really good video
Big difference: You can swim for 2 hours EVERYDAY but it’s extremely difficult to run for 2 hours EVERYDAY. So the correct measurements should be taken over 6 months.
Just me impressed that another Orion Harrier is in the vid!
I think you have to take into consideration the body's thermal production both in swimming and running. I'm not saying that swimming has more of it , since you may run under cold conditions or even sweating or running with windy weather can really increase the coefficient.
I was a swimmer for 12 years and did not lose any significant weight in the process, so I am very open to the idea that running may burn more calories.
Thanks for the video though, the end result was very useful to know, the burn pretty much the same!
Keep in mind there are paces in practice that are much faster. Also different strokes and there are leg workouts as well like kicking
Great channel for sports!
Do another test in 10 years when you are waiting for your new knee operation from all of that running and then tell me what exercise is better
Just curious - I what if the temp of the water was colder? I think that would burn more cals.
HEy guys. thanks for that. did you include the water temperature while you swim?
1:30 Wish you could tell people in my local pool that you can't chat whilst swimming....so frustrating having to overtake people swimming side by side having a chat
After watching all three videos I was surprised to see that running topped cycling and swimming in calorie count (especially swimming). I would like to understand further the hunger sensation after swimming since it does give a false perception of what has been spent. Thanks!
You guys make learning fun
Thanks!
Do you take into account the muscle you build from the water resistance. Which provides a longer burn.
How about dopamine?? Personally, Swimming would overtake any sports .
I started swimming and i love it. The treadmill becomes boring after a while, plus it's harder on my joints.
I go for a run early every morning (about 5am). Then go for a swim at 7am. I get every thing I need to do done for that day. Then finish the day with 200 sit ups, 100 push ups and as many pull ups as i can handle (normally around 50).
I also take dance classes most days as well as being on my schools netball team.
I'm 15.
you can swim in the ocean, a lake, a river, or a gravel pit.
